Plot

Mahesh (Kunchacko Boban) and Veena (Preeti Jhangiani) are a happily married couple living in Germany[1] with Mahesh working for an amusement park. One day, Vijay Krishnan (Vineeth), a poet and Mahesh's childhood friend, visits them. Vijay is depressed as his girlfriend Neena (Praveena) died due to cancer. Neena had made Vijay promise that he will marry another girl after her death. Vijay becomes obsessed with Veena as she has a strong resemblance with Neena. Mahesh comes to know about this but doesn't reveal this to Veena. Mahesh takes Vijay to a cliff and asks him to change his mind and go back home. Vijay tries to kill Mahesh and he slips and dies falling from the cliff. Vijay does not try to save him even though he could have. Mahesh's automatic camera captures of the whole episode. When Veena accidentally sees those pictures, she understands what really happened on that day. She pretends to have moved on and suggested that she is ready to share her life with Vijay. She asks him to take her to the cliff where Mahesh died as it was Mahesh' long cherished dream to take photos from the cliff. She then confronts Vijay and commits suicide from that cliff, in front of Vijay, as revenge.
